Information technology is one of the primary consumers of electricity in public and private sector organizations, accounting for approximately 5% of global power and emitting a comparable proportion of global carbon emissions.
However, responsible IT management and the intelligent application of information technology in business activities could reduce global carbon emissions by 15%. These practices are collectively known as sustainable IT. Executives and management in the 21st century will require an understanding of sustainable IT practices to reduce both their carbon footprint and overall operating costs.
The Centre for Environment, University of Toronto, in partnership with IT in Canada (publisher of the Sustainability Platform website), is presenting Sustainable IT, a 2-day workshop to provide managers (IT and Non-IT) with the tools to plan and implement a decisive sustainable IT strategy for your business.
Participants will receive a Certificate of Completion at the end of this course.
